The National Debt Clock

[Ah Well]

We need a ballad about the National Debt Clock

Maybe it should be renamed the "National Death Clock"

Ya know, seeing that fecking Clock on this Thread and all of the mire that's building up as each day goes past, it got me thinking of a Tune whose lyrics are somewhat relevant to this unfortunate country now.

Great Album, Great Song from the crappy ecomony times of the 80s and somewhat apt I think;

"What do you Do" from the Sunshine on Leith Album by The Proclaimers (1988)

What do we do indeed ...

Can someone perhaps put this on a large display and put it outside Leinster House ?

If it could be projected directly onto the front of the building it would be even more high impact

There is a version of that that could be modified for the purpose..... The Death Clock - When Am I Going To Die?

Interestingly, being an optimist, or having an optimistic view on things seems to add more years than the other factors on there.

You supply the 50inch plasma screen and the internet connection, I'll supply the duct tape.

I heard on some news program today that we have done our main borrowing for the year and the rest of the borrowing will be rollover money, this aint correct?

By October we could be talking about serious money.

Have to laugh!!!...understatement of the decade!!!!

Where would we be without duct tape? You are a star!
